News reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from across the pond that once again the Megamillions Lottery Jackpot has not been won thus ensuring an ever increasing jackpot amount . The Megamillions Jackpot has been rolling over since 4th November 2014 when the $326 million jackpot was won by a lucky New York ticket holder.The jackpot now exceeds the $200 million mark with the $270 million estimated jackpot for the next draw on Friday night matching the 13th highest jackpot in the history of the Megamillions Draw . The good news ? – the Megamillions Jackpot has been won in January at least once in every year since 2005 , so surely worth a punt this month !
The Megamillions numbers drawn on Tuesday 13th January were 12-20-25-50-51 with the number of the Megaball being 07. In Tuesday night’s draw no ticket holders matched the five main numbers and Megaball and thus the $246 million jackpot was not won . This means that the Megamillions jackpot will rollover once again and as a result Friday night’s Megamillions jackpot is estimated at an eye watering $270 million ($177.3 million in cash ).
In Tuesday night’s draw there were no ticket holders matching the five main balls and Megaball however six lucky ticket holders claimed a second prize by matching 5 main balls – five of the lucky winning ticket holders won $1 million with the sixth winning $5 million due to selecting the Megaplier option which in Tuesday night’s draw was 5 ( thus 5 x $1 million).
The lucky winning second prize ticket holders came from Arizona ( the $5m Megaplier winner) , Florida ,Michigan , Minnesota (x2) and New York.
With such a large jackpot up for grabs the perplexing question for the Lotto Central team is whether to play the Megamillions game on a single ticket or as part of a Lottery Syndicate. There is of course any easy answer to this perplexing question – do both !
